Should you build your own notification system? If your development or product team are pondering this question, this article will goes over the seven requirements to consider before making the choice to build or to buy.
What’s trending in design, why it isn’t easy to find designers, how open-source is different than other products, and how to look bigger than you are.
TLDR; I had a pleasure talking to Igor Kotua VC @ RunaCapital, a VC company that invests mainly in Open-Source Companies. We talked about what kind of products are suitable for open-source, open-source companies vs. B2B SaaS, Some open-source investments, and Igor library maintainer of Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS.
Growing the Novu community started with an objective to “gather” a community around solving a common problem of lacking multi-channel notification infrastructure for products. This means that people were already familiar with the product because they had a the same problem, and Novu stepped in to provide a solution. So essentially, we gave our community a platform to work on solving problems they experienced in their work.
Remote working has been in existence for a long time, but it wasn’t as prominent then as it is now. Then, You just had to show up to the office, even if all that needed to be done at the office was as simple as signing a document or as tasking as having a team meeting, you just had to be physically present at the office. This was the reality for many people until the epidemic came and suddenly, so many people had a different orientation about ‘Working from home’ and that going to the office wasn’t necessary to work together and collaborate.
One of the main core values of Novu is transparency with our community, team members, partners, and the industry around us. Transparency isn’t something new, we’ve seen other companies do it such as Gitlab. The motion of building in public, Open Startup, and Open Telemetry is a part of a fresh movement, trying to make the world better by allowing more observability, accountability, and trust between companies and their surroundings.
